Hardship

Sometimes it takes More Than Time and sometimes it takes more than friends and loved ones to get us through hardships and God will be there ready and willing to help you through them if you will ask Him.

Some NKJV in green and KJV in blue Bible references you might like to look at:

Romans 8:28

28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

2 Corinthians 4:16, 17, 18

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,

18 while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Hebrews 5:8

8 though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered.

8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

Hebrews 12:6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11

6 For whom the LORD loves He chastens,

      And scourges every son whom He receives.”

7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten?

8 But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons.

9 Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live?

10 For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness.

11 Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.

7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

Revelations 3:19

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.

19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
